jersey shore!

Jessssss, where you at?! :-)

This Memorial Day weekend I went to the Jersey Shore (Strathmere, NJ to be exact) to spend a few days relaxing with friends. Despite the unhealthy amounts of beer and grilled meats that were consumed, I actually rallied on Sunday morning to go for a run. I ran along the beach road into the "downtown" area of Sea Isle City, a little over 2 miles from where we were staying. For a change of scenery and less pounding on my knees I ran on the beach back to the house.

Running on the beach is hard. I ran on the packed sand, but I could still feel my legs working in overdrive to compensate for the not-hard-as-concrete surface (though my joints were very happy about the change). The scenery was gorgeous though--it was slightly cool, smelled like salt water, and the ocean was right there... boo on being back in the real world!

I'm convinced if I lived at the beach I would run everyday (maybe). And I'd probably be tan, too!
